So these two paragraphs in the tutorial are flat out wrong?

You should note that I never specified how long the array should be.
Instead I simply assigned values to various positions in the array and
it just worked.
This is an example of a dynamic array. It will grow to whatever size
is required. I can determine the size of an array at any time by
accessing the array's length property. The length property can also
have a value assigned to it to resize the array.

Maybe the link for this tutorial at:

should be removed?
